Hello. I've been trying to remember about 2 and a half days of missing time that occurred in August of 1998. I heard about bio-feedback and got a frequency generator. I ran lots of frequencies for memory general and for suppressed and repressed memories. I did it so much I can now go to my home town where I grew up and feel incredible feelings and remember all kinds of stuff. But still no memory of what happened back in 1998.
Are UFO abductees describing true-to-life kidnappings at the hands of space aliens, or is the abduction experience all in the mind? Members of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) say they have an answer: Abductees weave their strange tales based on the suggestions of overzealous therapists who may be unaware of the new studies on hypnosis and suggestibility. In fact, say falsememory advocates, abductees may soon start suing for malpractice like any patient claiming abuse by psychiatrists, psychologists, and other assorted shrinks.

Thanks for your replies. I really don't have the time, money, etc. for a hypnotist. I was hoping to learn how to do self-hypnosis. There are no tapes available to buy for recalling abductions as there are for quitting smoking. I was hoping someone else who has been there and done that could give some guidance. That is hoping for a lot I know.

Hypnotism may well be the best way of remembering but I would caution the acceptance of anything that comes out. I am very wary of False Memory Syndrome
FMSF founder Ralph Underwager, director of the Institute of Psychological Therapies in Minnesota, was forced to resign in 1993. Underwager (a former Lutheran pastor) and his wife Hollida Wakefield publish a journal, Issues in Child Abuse Allegations, written by and for child abuse "skeptics." His departure from the False Memory Syndrome Foundation was hastened by a remark in an interview, appearing in an Amsterdam journal for pedophiles, that it was "God's Will" adults engage in sex with children. (His wife Hollida remained on the Foundation's board after he left.) As it happens, holy dispensation for pedophiles is the exact credo of the Children of God cult. It was fitting, then, when Underwager filed an affidavit on behalf of cult members tried in France in 1992, insisting that the accused were positively "not guilty of abuse upon children." In the interview, he prevailed upon pedophiles everywhere to shed stigmatization as "wicked and reprehensible" users of children.
In keeping with the Foundation's creative use of statistics, Dr. Underwager told a group of British reporters in 1994 that "scientific evidence" proved 60% of all women molested as children believed the experience was "good for them." - Alex Constantine
